Quote Reflections on Uglies
"Making ourselves feel ugly is not fun."....
"This whole game is just designed to make us hate ourselves."
I think that it was Shay who said that. She was feeling bad because it reminded her of what she looked like, and that she wasn't perfect. She didn't think it was right to create a game that made you into someone better looking.
"Everyone judged everyone else based on their appearance. People who were taller got better jobs....people killed one another over stuff like having different skin color." (referring to when everyone was ugly)
I think that even though those things happen, people are unique in their own way. Appearance is always one thing that is different about everyone. Making everyone pretty didn't need to happen if we could all get along.
"It's the only way to make everyone equal." (becoming pretty)
People were equal before they were turned pretty. They just weren't treated equally. Just because someone is different, it doesn't mean that they aren't as good as you. They were so eager to make people equal, they didn't realize we already were.
